Merry Christmas

We had a great Christmas. We got to see a lot of family and had a really good time with all of them. This year was so different. Last year we had met Josie but knew that she was spending the day in an orphanage away from us. This year she was tearing into her presents and enjoying the music as church. What a joy! The boys were so excited for Christmas to get here and are a little dissapointed it is over. They enjoyed their Elf that came to visit. Tyler and Eric had programs at school and all 3 boys participated in their program at church.

                                               Wesley really enjoyed Santa this year. 

Josie enjoyed Santa from a distance or in Mama's arms.

                                          Tyler really didn't want any part of this picture. 

 

Tyler in their school program. They were all supposed to wear pj's but since he is kind of a dress up guy he didn't want to be seen in them so he and his teacher compromised.

When Eric was waiting for his turn with Santa he pulled a chair off the rack they were selling and had a seat.  He then didnt' sit on Santa's lap but rather talked to him from his seat. 

                                         Tyler finally decided maybe he would talk to Santa.

 Eric knew this song so well he did it with his eyes closed.  :)  Actually he told me later that he had his eyes closed the whole time so I wouldn't take his picture.
